In the campaign to come, Republicans will present economic solutions “that are bold,
specific and achievable,” Romney said as he presented his political partner to
cheering supporters. “We offer our commitment to create 12 million new jobs and
bring better take home pay to middle class families.”

“I am deeply excited and honored to join you as your running mate,” Ryan said in his

greatness of this country.”
